'Cheers': Where are they now? – On May 20, 1993, NBC's Boston bar comedy "Cheers" had "One for the Road" as the series ended its 11-season run.

Around that time, Perlman's personal life took the spotlight when her marriage to Danny DeVito hit a rough patch, though the two have reportedly reconciled.
